Just passed two separate bars/clubs on the same street in Hull both playing "Be Faithful" by Fatman Scoop at the same time.
All I'm saying is put me in, coach. I know I can do a better job with my 0 hours of experience.

Reporting like this is why @aftermath.site are the elite of games journalism right now.
For @aftermath.site, I spoke to @imodrew.bsky.social, the Sucker Punch dev fired after making a Charlie Kirk joke.
She paints a picture of an industry that all too often ignores bad actors until those bad actors threaten them financially.

Conspiracy brain talking, perhaps, but I wouldn't be shocked if this was to try and stop protestors - Palestine-supporting and climate activist ones in particular - from having a chance to evade prison after the many rightful Ls the governments taken on jury trials so far...
Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison.

Jury trials could be scrapped except in most serious cases
Only cases of alleged murder, rape or manslaughter will be decided by a jury under new proposals to cut court backlogs.

It feels worth mentioning that Graham Linehan’s harassment literally continued in the courtroom, as he repeatedly misgendered Sophia, and referred to her as “Tarquin”, a fictional deadname he made up for her as part of his harassment campaign. The judge was complicit in this harassment happening.
I wonder if I spent all day, every day, for years, calling Graham Linehan - or the judge - a nonce and then, when I saw him in the street screamed it in his face and smashed his phone, would a judge find I had done no harassing?
And that's not even factoring in the age of his victim

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Pluribus is doing a hell of a job at bringing me up to speed on the "Rhea Seahorn is one of the best actresses alive" train all the Better Call Saul watchers had been banging on about for years.
